Hi Arun/All,

Thanks for all of your appreciation. The request for gu.wikisource.org is in its final stage. There is a bug filed already for the creation of it and we expect its creation anytime soon.

With no discredit to anyone, but the people behind bringing the count to 1000 are User:Sushant savla, User:Ashok Modhvadia & User:Vyom25 (if I am not mistaking) in order of their recent contributions in addition to other contributors including myself. User:Yann is inactive insce September 2011, while the majority of this work from is done since November.

We have mainly started adding poems (including religious ones, Bhajans) and of course as Kondi stated Stories, biographies, history and other literature. However, our majority count is Bhajans. Also in addition to Kabir, we have few more notable Gujarati Poets' almost majority poetic creations added in Gujarati, these being, Narasinh Mehta (65) (who is regarded as Adi Kavi of Gujarati), Akho (23), Gangasati (53), Zaverchand Meghani (62), Mirabai (124).. and the list continues. Second larget type of content there after Bhajan/Poems is Lokageet (Falksongs). There is Bhagawad Gita and Mahatma Gandhi's autobiography are underway.

We had set up our first aim to bring the count to 1000 on Holi, 18th March, and unfortunately we missed the goal by almost 10 days. Our next goal now is, as Sushant stated in his original message, to complete a first complete book there.

Thanks Arun for your suggestion to link Kabir's work with Hindi text and English source. I will be doing it straightaway.

You all are welcome to contribute there.

Regards,
Dhaval

Thanks Konarak for the response..It is great effort that has gone in from the contributors.

Located Gujarati wikisource at http://wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%AA%AE%E0%AB%81%E0%AA%96%E0%AA%AA%E0%AB%83%E0%AA%B7%E0%AB%8D%E0%AA%A0:%E0%AA%97%E0%AB%81%E0%AA%9C%E0%AA%B0%E0%AA%BE%E0%AA%A4%E0%AB%80

Is the gu wikisource.org site going to up soon?
Noticed at Meta.[1] that the proposal for a separate Gujarati wikisource has been approved recently.

It would be great if the Kabir pages could be linked to the following as well:

http://wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%AC%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%B0_%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%87_%E0%A4%AD%E0%A4%9C%E0%A4%A8 (Hindi)

http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/One_Hundred_Poems_by_Kabir (English)

There may be other translations of Kabir's works.

Also connecting with WIkisource contributors from Telugu (7K), Bengali (5K), Sanskrit (5K), Malayalam (3K) may help exchange notes and some collaboration ideas.

regards
Arun

Congratulations to all Gujarati wikisource contributors!
This is great to hear.

Indeed this is great.

It would be great if you could share some insight into the type of content covered by the 1000 articles. And the active contributors and their key contributions.

best regards
Arun

User:Yann (admin) User:Ashok modhvadia, User:Sushant savla, these three contributors are most active.(I might work on Wikisource in near future.)

We have poems, stories, history, bhajans and religious, political and social literature. 37 articles in category St. Kabir and 2 articles in Abraham Lincoln. I hope this helps.
